First Snohomish County measles case is Bothell-area student
EVERETT — Snohomish County has its first confirmed case of the measles in the latest outbreak — a teenage boy who attends North Creek High School in the Bothell area.
The Snohomish Health District on Wednesday released a list of locations and dates where he has been since he has been infectious. From May 5 to 12, those locations included school, three long stints at the Starbucks kiosk at Safeway at 24040 Bothell Everett Highway, AMC Woodinville 12, Top Pot Donuts in Bothell and other stores and restaurants. Anyone at those sites during specified times might have been exposed.
The Northshore School District urged families to monitor children for signs of the illness. The infected student was not in school this week.
“We will be reaching out to the parents, particularly those who have exemptions for vaccination,” health district officer Dr. Mark Beatty said during a Wednesday press conference.
Later in the day, the district said in a web post: “We have contacted the North Creek (High School) families who have students that have not received the vaccination. These students will be excluded from school until June 3, barring any additional confirmed cases.”
